This beautiful Cabin, with breathtaking forest and mountain views, is the perfect place for a romantic stay away or a family escape in the Cairngorms!

In the mornings, take in the spectacular views from bed outside the large windows. In the evening, sit outside on the lovely deck or soak in the shared hot tub and enjoy a glass of wine or a wee dram while basking in the beautiful surrounding nature. It’s the perfect way to end a day exploring the local area!

The cabin cansleep up to four guests. Two guests on a king-sized bed on the ground floor and two in the double loft bed. The loft bed is accessed with a ladder as seen in the photos and is suitable for children or agile adults. The cabin has a small kitchen equipped with the essentials including an air fryer, a gorgeous outdoor dining and seating area and a beautiful bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. The cabin was designed with sustainability in mind, boasting features such as an eco shower, for the water conscious among us. The cabin is kept cozy and warm as it’s extremely well insulated. A unique and beautiful mural and bouldering wall has been fitted on the back of the cabin for some extra fun!

There is also a hot tub for you to get the full relaxation experience in! The hot tub is shared with our other guests at the steading. You are welcome to use it at any time after 10 am until 9pm to soak and enjoy the scenery. We just ask all our guests to be respectful of each other. The cabin encompasses comfort, functionality and luxury in a magnificent compact and sustainable design, You'll love it!

The forest view cabin is located on a small steading nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms, and on the edge of beautiful Ballater. As you enter you will see an old stone building, a tiny house on the left and a second tiny house to the right of the cabin. A lovely wildflower garden, which will be in full bloom by spring has been planted with native wildflowers and will provide a habitat for local wildlife.

At the steading, we are trying to build unique, low-impact sustainable holiday accommodations, with a community feel and high-quality design and materials for our guests. The cabin and tiny houses are newly built and 100% finished. However, you may notice other projects on the property which are not completed to the same level and our staff members, though, this should not impact or disturb you during your stay.

The cabin is perfectly situated to access all that the Cairngorms and Royal Deeside have to offer. Walking trails, hiking, golf, mountain biking, skiing and other outdoor activities are all on your doorstep.

The accommodation is located a mile and a half to Ballater. You can either walk along the much loved 7 bridges walk, take the 201 bus or drive to get to the village. Here you can find a selection of café’s, restaurants and pubs, or possibly a bit of local independent shopping. If you want to visit the Royal family, Balmoral Estates is a stone’s throw away. Balmoral and Royal Lochnagar Whiskey distillery are only 6 miles away. Also close by is the Historic Town of Braemar.

We love to welcome your furry friends, we ask for a £30 fee for up to two animals to help our cleaners keep the property free of animal hair.

If there is anything you should need during your stay we are only a message or phone call away.

    Cozy, clean cabin with nice views on a working farm. It was very close to town, which has restaurants and groceries. I had a full kitchen so you could cook and the hot tub was a nice touch because it had a great view of the mountains.

    Nice, well equipped cabin. Insane views and nice facilities. Helpful hosts. The only slight issue was that the raised bed could have been slightly cleaner as there were some crumbs around the bed. But all around lovely stay and we would reccomend.

    Small but lovely property. Upper bunk is tight so would suggest suitable only for children

    It was a great stay in the cabin in Ballater. The bed was very comfortable and the cabin had what I needed for my two night stay. I was just a single person staying so I didn’t need the loft but note it is quite a steep climb with a small opening so heed the description that it’s probably only good for children.

    We were surprised by how close this cabin was to Ballater- connected by a well-traveled and beautiful walking path. The cabin was neat, clean, and quiet.

    Beautiful cabin in idyllic Cairngorms setting! Stayed with my husband and two young children, who enjoyed climbing the ladder up to their treehouse bed, and our family dog. Perfect size and set-up for us. Conveniently located near the lovely town of Ballater and on the doorstep of stunning scenic walks. Wish we’d stayed longer than one night - we will definitely be back!!

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The children‘s bed was a bit small for our two teenagers of 1.85m, but still: we wouldn‘t have wanted to miss this stay. We went trekking, jogging and enjoyed the hot tub, the blooming garden and the gorgeous weather. We were always outside.

    Our stay in the cabin was absolutely brilliant …the cabin itself has everything you need for a short stay …it had private outdoor seating …bed was comfy …a wee kitchenette which had everything you need …a shower room …the cabin was clean and has been well thought out …there’s also a hot tub which is shared between 3 cabins …I think we were the only ones to use it …it’s a short trip into Ballater if you need anything …the trails are all on the doorstep …we took our bikes so we could explore further but to be honest we didn’t get too far as we didn’t finish what was around us …we will definitely go back to that cabins …also the host was quick on getting back to you if anything was needed
